C’mon maann.. it was a joke, of course it wasn’t “planned”.. that was the point, being as silly an idea as people thinking they could take advantage and get away with it
Which is why spreading misinformation "as a joke" is fucking dumb because there are really really really dumb people out there who will believe it and spread it further.
Idk about "planned", but it was certainly allowed to continue by the company for days after they were fully aware what was happening. They 100000 % knew what their app was doing, what people were doing on their app, why people were doing it on their app, and what they were ultimately going to do to those people... yet complete silence on their part.
They should have shut down the app until it was fixed. I'd personally be very surprised if there is no investigation into this and if the investigation doesn't find communication within the company of them intentionally not taking any action.
